    ATF Picking A Fight With Texas Over Texas Made Suppressor Law!!!

    Well, sure, it's just a tax. And, although the Constitution says that the United States is prohibited from exercising power and authority except as specifically provided in the Constitution, the S.Ct. came up with the theory that the U.S. can do whatever it wants if it involves taxation...

    Why the sudden rash in "mass shootings"?

    Reminds me of the lead-up to the The Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution of 1968-69. Mao's plan was to destroy the culture and economic life of China in order to "build back better".

    ATF Picking A Fight With Texas Over Texas Made Suppressor Law!!!

    Having worked closely with them for thirty years, I can confirm this conclusion based on experience. There are some good ones, but you can't afford them; they're hired by the elite in order to keep you in serfdom. It really doesn't matter, though, because the lowest level trial courts mostly...

    nope. when the prosecutor offers immunity in exchange for something that's a deal between the state and the defendant or witness, not involving the prosecutor personally, because he is the manifestation of the state in that situation. The state is really just a legal fiction after all...

    Why the sudden rash in "mass shootings"?

    No question about all that - but the sudden rash of similar acts in various places looks like a co-ordinated effort by someone behind the scenes to me. Sure, it's a "conspiracy theory", and there's no evidence for the conclusion other than the fact of the confluence of apparently coincidental...

    Black Guns Matter

    Or, put another way, wisdom requires awareness - people who have insulated themselves from the God's reality because of their shame, fear, and guilt are, as Jesus put it, without "eyes to see and ears to hear" - he compared them to the walking dead (Luke 9:59-60). With all this talk of fools...

    GREATER RICHMOND OC DINNER - TUES, JUNE 14th at 7:00 PM

    Thanks for that, but I'm thinking as a practical matter, there's no way I'm going to be able to get down there tomorrow. Aside from my inability to get around as I used to, there's also the matter of gasoline - it hadn't occurred to me before that it'd cost me upwards of sixty bucks just to...

    Hornaday has fallen

    exactly. federal contracts are not really contracts. it's a whole different body of law, based on contract law, but with the underlying assumption that you're dealing with a sovereign entity that can do whatever it wants in that kind of transaction. And if you don't like what they're doing...

    Why the sudden rash in "mass shootings"?

    They had a "mass shooting" yesterday in D.C., or maybe it was the day before. I thought it was getting too absurd, because this time, the four people killed were killed within hours of each other in the same neighborhood but in different gang fights, and completely unrelated incidents.

    Black Guns Matter

    By the way, one of my pet peeves has been activated by the mention of Marbury v. Madison. They like to tell school children that this case established the principle of judicial review. Nonsense. The principle of judicial review was established a couple of hundred years earlier in England in a...

    GREATER RICHMOND OC DINNER - TUES, JUNE 14th at 7:00 PM

    I very much hope to attend. As I feel right now, I'd be down there in two hours, but who knows how I'll be on Tuesday. Nevertheless, if I can show up, I will. Shall I assume 7 pm?

    Black Guns Matter

    Sure the Court said all that, but the question for the enlightened citizenry is, "Does any of that square with the plain meaning of OUR Constitution?" I suggest that the answer is no. I'm saying that the Supreme Court of the United States has been just plain wrong about a lot of that, and I...

    They've been asking the wrong question.

    For the past couple of years, the thing I keep hearing is that "there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud", right? But whether or not there was evidence of widespread voter fraud is the wrong question. First off, no one ever said there was "widespread" fraud - it was local to five...

    I see a lot of the make-a-crisis kit that governmental agencies of all kinds use a lot, because of the way budgeting and spending work. For example, when I was chairman of the Fairfax Transportation Safety Commission, I discovered how they get traffic lights installed. When there's a dangerous...

    Nat'nl Mot'rst Assoc. alert re asserting right to protect your rights in police stops

    I've always gotten a chuckle out of the cynical humor that underlies that phrase. No one ever asks, "to protect and serve whom, exactly?" And the answer is there but wishful thinking fools the public: it's The State. The cops exist to protect and serve The State. Not the people - the Supreme...

    See their website at https://blackgunsmatter.myshopify.com/ Philadelphia resident Maj Toure organized the movement in order to promote the right to self defense for everyone in America. I've always maintained that the basic reason that Washington D.C. and adjacent Prince George's County...

    Nat'nl Mot'rst Assoc. alert re asserting right to protect your rights in police stops

    Thanks for that; I view "minion" as a recent adaptation - I use the word in a connotative sense of a diminutive servant. Igor to Dr. Frankenstein, Renfrew to Dracula, Cop to State.

    Why the sudden rash in "mass shootings"?

    Another thing that's changed is the definition of "mass shootings" - we used to use that phrase when there were like thirty people killed. Now I think it means "three or more".

    One thing to consider is that Congress has the constitutional authority to make whatever regulations it may deem fit for operation of the "seat of government". On the other hand, the 2nd A. being an amendment, it changes the meaning of the provision granting Congress that authority. Though the...

    The local school district is dumping on the cops - I've noticed that the public education establishment is really big on avoiding blame, passive-aggressive attitudes, and trying to smear others to make up for their own deficiencies. As to the cops: their job is to detect crime, apprehend the...
